ALTERNATIVE ANTI-AGEING ROUTINE: FASTING
Intermittent, reverse or the 5:2 diet are great for shedding the extra kilos, and if done right, skipping a few meals could help you achieve healthier skin too. Dr Harald Stossier, founder of the celeb-favourite wellness clinics VIVAMAYR, explains, “A big meal in the evening makes it difficult for our body temperature to drop, which is an absolute must to metabolise melatonin and growth hormone. Both these hormones are produced at night and activate our regeneration process (think quicker healing and skin cell renewal). The simple strategy of fasting can extend life form, reduce the ageing process and stop premature ageing.” Besides fasting under the guidance of a medical expert, Dr Stossier also recommends practising mindful eating habits. “Eat slowly, chew well, stop when you feel it’s enough and allow your body to digest the food in the best way.”
